Minor League Baseball today announced the International League’s Player and Pitcher of the Week Awards. Norfolk Tides’ starter DL Hall was named Pitcher of the Week, while Memphis infielder Paul DeJong was named Player of the Week. It’s the third time Hall’s won a Pitcher of the Week award, winning the other two with Single-A Delmarva of the South Atlantic League in 2018 in back-to-back weeks from July 1 through July 15.
Hall was dominant in his two starts on July 7 and July 12 vs. Worcester. He did go 0-1, but didn’t allow an earned run in both starts. In 10.2 innings of work, he allowed four hits and five walks while striking out 18 batters.
In the month of July, Hall is 1-1 with a 0.44 ERA (1 ER, 20.2 IP), allowing eight hits and eight walks (0.77 WHIP) while striking out 40. He has an opportunity to break the Tides franchise record as an Orioles affiliate (since 2007), which was 48 set by teammate Grayson Rodriguez this past May, which helped earn him International League Pitcher of the Month. Hall’s struck out at least eight batters in four straight starts, totaling seven such games this season. He’s the third pitcher in the International League to have a four-game eight-strikeout this season, joining Rodriguez and Gwinnett’s Kyle Muller.
It's the third time that a Tide has won the International League Pitcher of the Week Award this season, and the fourth weekly award overall. Kyle Bradish won Pitcher of the Week in week two of the season from April 11 – 17 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He totaled 9.0 innings of work, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine hitters. He threw 64% of his pitches for strikes, tossing 125 pitches, 80 for strikes. Rodriguez earned the latest Pitcher of the Week award from May 23 -29, tossing 7.0 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out 10 batters. He threw a season-high 88 pitches and 68 strikes (77.3% strikes).
Kyle Stowers won Player of the Week the series prior to Rodriguez’ award-winning week. Stowers put on an impressive display of power during the Tides six-game series at Charlotte from May 17 - 22. The Orioles No. 8 prospect, according to MLB.com, went 12-for-25 (.480) with three doubles, five home runs and 10 RBI, while scoring 11 runs and also drawing five walks. Stowers posted a .567 on-base percentage and slugged 1.200, recording an incredible OPS of 1.767. In the final game of the series, he went 3-for-5 with four runs scored, three home runs and five RBI, becoming the ninth player in Tides franchise history with three home runs in a season.
